SUMZMER-A'I'TACHMENT EOR STOVES RANGES.

The Schedule. referred to in these Letters Patent and making-part of the same.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, N. 0. Bonn, of Hyannis, in the county of Barnstable, and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Summer- Attaohments for Stoves or Ranges;-'and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description'thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which the drawing represents a sectional view of my inventionwhen applied to a commonoooking-' stove.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.

The object of this invention is to provide an attachment for stoves, whereby the necessity of building a fire in the fire-place of a stove or range is obviated in summer, when a small, temporary fire only is needed, thus economizing fuel, labor, and time, and avoiding It consists of a deep circular dish, on vessel, formed to fit into the opening of the top plate, and providedwith a pipe-extension leading from the bottom of the vessel, and communicating with the external air through the side, front, or door of the stove, whereby the air for the proper combustion of the fuel isadmitted directly underneath the said fuelheld in the attachment.

At some point above the usual height of the fuel in the attachment is an opening for the escape of combustion into the body of the stove, whence it passes upthe pipe by the natural draught-action.

The upper edge or rim of the attachment is formed to receive the stove-plate, or the base of any cookingvessel that is provided to fit upon the opening or hole in the top plate,

Any perforated plate or grate may be'placed in the attachment, to insure better action, although it is not indispensable to its efl'ective operation.

Inthe drawings 1 A-is the attachment, being formed, as shown, to rest in the opening of the top plate B;

O is the circular plate, fitting in the top of the attachment, as shown.

-me, this 12th day of June, 1868.

D is the hollow extension, leading from the bottom of the attachment to an air-passage or-opening, a,

the front and sides or doors of the stove,-so that the attachment may be set on the different holes, or that several of such attachments may be us'ed at once, if

desired.

A slide-damper, (I, may also be employed to close the opening, when the whole fire-box E is used.

The attachment is preferably of cast-metal, and of small cost.

Thus, by my invention, a charcoal, coke, or kindling-- wood fire, gives sufficient heat form-any purposes, and

may be used withontithe necessity of filling up the entire fire-box with fuel.

Having thus described my invention,

- I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent-- A summer-attachment, A, formed to .fit in the top I plate of astove or range, and to receive the stove-plate O of the opening, in which it fits, and provided with a hollow extension, D, leading from the bottom of the attachment to any suitable air-passageformed in the side, door, or front of the stove or range, and provided with an exit-passage, c, all substantially as shown and described, and for the purpose set forth,

The above specification of my invention signed by N. O BOND.
